It sometimes seems amazing that Fremont was once considered the cutlery capital of the world. But it’s true. There were in the neighborhood of 50 brands of shears and 30 brands of safety razors manufactured in the city in the late 19th century. The dozens of firms ranged from garage shops to giants such as the Clauss company, which employed hundreds of workers. It is said that the skilled German immigrants played a huge role in the boom of the cutlery industry in this area, which also was rich in natural resources — lumber and the river. But while the Europeans were key to the success of the industry here, the European craftsmen also played a role in troubles that helped bring the industry down. In the wake of each of the world wars, U. S. government policies that allowed cheaper European blades to compete made life difficult for local manufacturers. But make no mistake about it, there was plenty of evidence that Fremont was a big player in the cutlery world even when government policies made life difficult. Take this interesting and entertaining example from The Fremont Daily News of Oct. “How many Fremonters know that 90 per cent of the surgeon’s knives used in this country are manufactured in Fremont by the Crescent Manufacturing Co. “Yes, sir, chances are, nine out of ten, that if you are minus an appendix, or a set of tonsils,... “The Crescent Co. manufactures something like 18,000 surgeon’s knives and 15,000 razor blades, daily. In addition, the busy factory on Ohio Avenue has an output of about 50,000 pedicure knives a month. Later, the newspaper added: “The surgeon knives manufactured by the Crescent Co. are detachable from the handles. The blades are used only once. Personally, I think that’s probably a good thing, but it might have been unusual in 1928, I don’t know. A week later, The Daily News published a story about Henkel-Clauss with another homespun message. “If you have ever purchased a box of Cutex preparations, the nail file you found in it was made in Fremont by the Henkel-Clauss Co. The Fremont company makes all the files used by these manufacturers, and supplies this one company alone with 7,500... A few other numbers from the same story: “The principal products: 125,000 dozen shears. 20,000 gross of nail files, 5,000 dozen. Source: www.thenews-messenger.com

Setting Up A Newlywed's Apartment (Part II) - The Jewish Press

Last month we discussed the intricacies of finding the right apartment for a newlywed couple and filling it with a couple of pieces of reduced price furniture. Now, we will discuss the best way to obtain the goods that can turn an apartment into a home. A minimum of stress is key here. Otherwise, you end up with too many things and nowhere to put them, or too little and no means to make a cup of coffee the morning after your wedding. Sit down with your significant other and discuss what you need to set up your new life together. Walking into a store or scrolling through a website without a checklist of necessary and desired items is a sure-fire way to end up with a whole bunch of things you have no use for. If either of you already has the basic kitchen, bathroom, and dining necessities, resist the urge to dump everything you have and start all over again. Instead, take the opportunity to go for those extra touches such as a high-end coffee-maker, scented candles or a beautiful vase. On the other hand, if you are just starting out, you will need to start from scratch. Here is a basic list for a new Jewish home, broken down by room:. Bathroom : towels, toilet bowl brush with holder, garbage can. Your apartment might already have a shower curtain or glass shower door, but if not, purchase a curtain. If you want to add a little more to the room, buy a bath rug, toothbrush holder, and soap dispenser. A more minimalist approach would be to use a towel on the floor in place of a rug, any plastic cup for a toothbrush holder, and regular bar of soap in a dish. Bedroom : linen, pillows, comforters, nightstand lamp. You will need them all. Kitchen : hand towels, mugs, small set of meat and milk dishes, two sets of cutlery, one dish drying rack, two frying pans, two 8-quart pots, two 2-quart pots, hand mixer, hand blender, teakettle if you like tea, French press for coffee lovers, a... Basic cleaning supplies, not including cleansers are: scrubbers, broom, shovel, mop, long gloves, iron and ironing board. For a more minimalist approach, buy exactly what you need and add from there. For example, buy. Source: www.jewishpress.com
